NOTE. 

The Society of the Friendly Sons of St. 
Patrick in the City of New York was instituted 
on March 17, 1784. It had its origin in Irish 
Officers connected with the armies of the 
American Revohttion. On November 25, 1783, 
the last British soldier departed from the shores 
of our city, the British flag which had been 
nailed to the flagpole of Fort George was hauled 
down, the American flag was run up in its 
place, and the Continental Armxy entered the city. 
It was led by George Washington, then an 
adopted member of the Friendly Sons of St. 
Patrick of Philadelphia. At his side rode the 
Governor, General George Clinton, the son of an 
Irishman; and the advance battalion was com- 
manded by General Henry Knox, also the son of 
an Irishman, and a member of the Friendly Sons 
of St. Patrick of Philadelphia. 

In the environment produced by these con- 
ditions, in the atmosphere of liberty and Con- 
stitutional government that followed the advent 
of the American army into its final possession 
of New York City, was born the Society of the 
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. Daniel McCor- 



5 



mick was its founder and its president for many 
years. The objects of the Society were, to assist 
poor and distressed natives, and descendants of 
natives, of Ireland, and promote friendly, social 
feelings among its members. 

With these laudable purposes, on March 17, 
1784, the first St. Patrick's Day following the 
evacuation of New York by the British, the So- 
ciety inaugurated its festive functions at "Cape's 
Tavern." In the New York Packet and Adver- 
tiser of Thursday, March 18, 1784, the following 
appears : 

"Yesterday, being the anniversary of St. Patrick, 
"his patriotic sons met at Cape's Tavern, where 
"they gave an elegant entertainment to his Excel- 
"lency the Governor, Lieut. -Governor, Chancellor 
"and a number of other respectable gentlemen of 
"this State. The day and evening were spent in 
"festivity and mirth, and a number of suitable toasts 
"were drank upon this joyful occasion. The great- 
"est unanimity and conviviality pervaded this num- 
"erous and jovial company, and perhaps this great 
"Saint was never honoured with a concourse of 
"more generous and truly patriotic sons than this 
"assembly afforded." 

Thus commenced (in the words of Curran), 
**those happy meetings when the swelling heart 
conceived and communicated the pure and 
generous purpose, the innocent enjoyment of 
social mirth expanded into the nobler warmth 
of social virtue, and the horizon of the board 
became enlarged into the horizon of man." 



Almost uninterruptedly since, quarterly and an- 
niversary meetings of the Society have been 
held. Many of the leading men of the City 
and State are enrolled among its members, and 
the records of the Society from the beginning 
contain names prominent in the early history 
of the Republic. Social and friendly inter- 
course was promoted and maintained among 
the natives of Ireland and their kinsmen and 
descendants. Numbers of deserving, but less 
fortunate fellow country-men, were relieved by 
the bounty of the Society, implements and ma- 
terials for domestic manufacture were furnished 
to the industrious poor. The needy were as- 
sisted with money, medicine, clothing and fuel, 
the destitute were provided with homes and, 
when necessary, were furnished with sufficient 
funds to enable them to return to their native 
land. 

The design of the badge worn by members 
of the Society, and which appears on the cover 
of this book, is a facsimile of the "reverse" of 
the medal worn by the members of the Friendly 
Sons of St. Patrick in Philadelphia in 1771. 
The following in reference to that medal is 
from Haverty's American Almanac: 

Each member was required to furnish himself 
with a gold medal of the value of three guineas, 
agreeably to the following description: On the 



right, HIBERNIA; on the left, AMERICA; in the 
center, LIBERTY joining the hands of HIBER- 
NIA and AMERICA, representing by the usual 
figures of a female supported by a harp, for 
HIBERNIA; an Indian with his quiver on his back 
and his bow slung, for AMERICA; underneath, 
UNITE. On the reverse, ST. PATRICK tramping 
on a snake, a cross in his hand, dressed in pontifi- 
calibus, the motto, "HIER." 

These devices, designed some years before 
the Revolution, were certainly ominous, if not 
prophetic. The Goddess of LIBERTY joining the 
hands of HIBERNIA and AMERICA, with the 
superscription "UNITE," was sufficiently signifi- 
cant, considering that the effect of that union 
powerfully promoted the subsequent dismember- 
ment of the British Empire and the liberty and in- 
dependence of America. The motto, HIER, or, 
without the aspirate, lER, in the Celtic language 
signifies "West," and from it came the name of the 
country. Ere, Erin, or Ireland, and lerna, aspirated 
Hibernia. But the word HIER had in it a duplicate 
and equivocal signification, peculiarly appropriate as 
the motto of a society whose object was to "Unite" 
in fellowship the sons of the little isle of the "West" 
with those of the great continent of the "West." 
This medal the members were obliged to wear at 
the meeting of the Society under the penalty of 
7s. 6d. for neglect to do so on St. Patrick's day, and 
5s. on the days of the quarterly meetings.* 

* The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Philadelphia was 
founded in 1771. George Washington, adopted a member De- 
cember 17, 1 78 1, dined with the Society on St. Patrick's Day, 
1782, and characterized it as "a society distinguished for the firm 
adherence of its mevibers to the glorious cause in which we are 
embarked." Other members were Generals Moylan, Shee, 
Wayne, Knox, Butler, Irvine, Hand; Commodore Barry, Jolin 
Mease, who crossed the Delaware with General Washington on 
the memorable night of December 25, 1776, and surprised the 
Hessians: and his brother, Matthew, who commanded the quarter 
deck guns under Paul Jones in the Bonhomme Richard's fight 
with the Serapis. 

On June 17, 1780, twenty-seven of its members subscribed 
103,500 pounds sterling to furnish provisions for the army, Rob- 
ert Morris and Blair McClenachan each subscribing 10,000 



The original records of the Society from 1784 
to 1835, except the Treasurer's Book from 1804, 
were lost by fire in August, 1835, being at that 
time in possession of the Secretary, whose place 
of business was destroyed. 

The Society has been true to the principles 
on which it was founded. It has helped the 
needy and distressed, and has been the means 
of cementing life-long friendships among its 
members and among those who participated in 
its festivities. From the Society grew the Irish 
Emigrant Society and the Emigrant Industrial 
Savmgs Bank. Uniting to the charitable and 
humane the friendly and social feelings, it seeks 
to keep ever vigorous the love of Ireland and of 
the Irish character. It celebrates the festival of 
St. Patrick as a national and immemorial cus- 
tom, to commemorate the glory of Ireland, to 
drop a tear upon her sorrows and to express a 
hope for her regeneration. It has entertained 
illustrious and distinguished guests at its ban- 
quets. Its last notable dinner was given on May 
29, 1902, to the French Governmental Mission 
attending the Rochambeau Monument ceremon- 
ies, in acknowledgment of which the Republic of 

pounds. William Constable, another member, an aide of Lafay- 
ette and partner of Robert Morris, was one of the founders of 
the New York Society.— Hood's Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, 4^- 
49 (Phila., 1844); Crimmins' Early Celebrations of St. Patricks 
Day, 215 (N. Y., 1902). 



France presented to the Society a magnificent 
Sevres vase now in the Metropolitan Museum of 
Art. 

Among the Society's members have been 
many of the great merchants, business and 
professional men of the city. To pass over the 
living, on its rolls appear the names of Alex- 
ander Macomb, Hugh Gaine, William Con- 
stable, Dominick Lynch, De Witt Clinton, John 
Caldwell, Thomas Addis Emmet, Robert J. 
Dillon, Joseph Stuart, Richard Bell, William 
Kelly, Joseph P. Kernochan, John Haggerty,

Richard O'Gorman, John Savage, Jeremiah 
Devlin, William Whiteside, Thomas Barbour, 
Hugh J. Hastings, Thomas Francis Meagher, 
James R. Cuming, Charles P. Daly, Frederick 
Smyth, William R. Grace. 

Of these. Dr. William James MacNeven and 
Thomas Addis Emmet, whose names are indeli- 
bly written on the pages not only of Irish his- 
tory, but on the history of this city and State, 
became members of the Friendly Sons of St. 



lO 



Patrick in 1815. Facing Broadway, in the grave- 
yard of historic St. Paul's, are reared the columns 
upon which are noted their services to their na- 
tive country and to their adopted land, flanking 
on either side the tablet which perpetuates the 
memory of that other great Irishman, who fell 
at the siege of Quebec, General Richard Mont- 
gomery. 

Free from all religious and political charac- 
teristics, it stands at present the representative 
Irish society in the City of New York. 

The Recording Secretary gratefully acknowl- 
edges his indebtedness to Mr. Bartholomew 
Moynahan, Mr. John D. Crimmins and Mr. 
David McClure for valuable materials which 
have been freely used herein.

•death of DANIEL McCORMICK, 1834- 

We have the painful task of announcing the death of the venera- 
ble Daniel McCormick, Esq., at his residence in Wall Street, yester- 
day afternoon. This amiable old gentleman alvi^ays stood high in 
the estimation of all who knew him. He was a true friend to the 
poor, and out of the abundance of his wealth, his gifts were bestowed 
liberally, and in the most graceful manner. The poor widow and the 
orphan, were among his earnest cares, and by them, and the commu- 
nity, his loss will long be deplored. Mr. McCormick was a native of 
Ireland, and one of Erin's brightest sons. May his example, in all 
good works, be followed by those of his countrymen in proportion to 
their means. — New York Gazette, Feb. i, 1834. 

Died on Friday afternoon, Jan. 31, 1834, Daniel McCormick, in 
the 91st year of his age. The friends of the deceased are respect- 
fully invited to attend the funeral from his late residence. No. 57 
Wall Street, this afternoon at half past four o'clock, without further 
invitation. 

The Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick are requested to 
attend the funeral of their late respected member, Daniel McCor- 
mick, Esq., this afternoon at half past three o'clock precisely. 

— New York Gazette, Feb. 3, 1834.
